25-OH-Vitamin D2
25-OH-Vitamin D3
Clinical relevance
Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is a recognised clinical chemical determinant associated with osteoporosis and osteopenia (reduction in bone density). It also plays a role in the body's immune response, cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer. Therefore, vitamin D is highly important from a number of diagnostic perspectives.
25-OH-vitamin D3 is the primary metabolite in the human body and the direct precursor of the physiologically active form 1.25-(OH)2-vitamin D3. First-line treatment for vitamin D deficiency is nutritional supplements with vitamin D3 or vitamin D2. Vitamin D2 is easier to synthesise and is widely used as a supplement outside of the EU, and especially in the United States. Therefore, its determination in serum/plasma is also relevant.
Product advantages
- Automated sample preparation in 96 Well Filter Plates
- 3PLUS1® or 6PLUS1® Multilevel Calibrator Set and MassCheck® Controls
- Isotopically labelled internal standard
This Chromsystems kit allows the determination of 25-OH-vitamin D3 and 25-OH-vitamin D2 in serum and plasma with LC-MS/MS. 96 samples can be reliably processed in 30 minutes using automated sample preparation. The comparison of manual and automated method shows a strong correlation. The 3PLUS1® and 6PLUS1® multilevel calibrators are optionally available and guarantee a high level of precision of the results.
A variant for manual sample preparation in 96 well filter plates (order no. 62000) is also available.
